This is the second page I did for the newspaper challenge set by Julie for Art Journal Every Day. I used words torn out from a newspaper this time. I saw the words hunger and Eat! and it made me think how important it is to eat the right things to be healthy. Then I thought this is the same for everything, not just eating. For example, if I spend too much time watching the wrong kind of tv programme that's not going to do me any good. I need to feed myself with good things and I need to feed my spirit with the things of God. Jesus said,
"I am the Bread of Life; he who comes to me shall not hunger,
and he who believes in me shall never thirst."
John 6: 35-36
When I spend time with Jesus in prayer, or at church, or am just conscious of Him as I go about my day I just feel better!
This is my page:
I really enjoyed doing this. The backround started out with colour which I'd previously scraped on a page when I had an accident with a Cosmic Shimmer bottle!
I filled the rest of the page with yellow and orange with Brilliance inkpads:
But I didn't like it so I mixed blue acrylic with a little perfect pearl and scraped it all over the top so just a little of the colour beneath showed through which I really liked:
Then I added doodling:
This was really fun to do and definitely satisfied my creative hunger! It also led me to do this page where I cut shapes out of newspaper.
Spending time with Jesus is definitely feasting on love! And that means that I'll have more love to give out to those around me.
What wonderful words you found for your art! Lovely!
